reverted distutils its 3.1 state. All new work is now happening in disutils2, and distutils is now feature-frozen.

callable() from copy_reg.py, so the interpreter now starts up
without warnings when '-3' is given.  More work like this needs to
be done in the rest of the stdlib.

I like this because it makes the code shorter! :-)

Fix all remaining instances that did bad things with the new str.translate().

unicode, and a few other compensating changes, e.g. str <- unicode,
chr <- unichr, and repr() of a unicode string no longer starts
with 'u'.  Lots of unit tests are broken, but some basic things
work, in particular distutils works so the extensions can be built,
and test_builtin.py works.

 * all calls to functions in the string module (except maketrans)
 * everything from stropmodule except for maketrans() which is still used

There's one major and one minor category still unfixed:
doctests are the major category (and I hope to be able to augment the
refactoring tool to refactor bona fide doctests soon);
other code generating print statements in strings is the minor category.

(Oh, and I don't know if the compiler package works.)

(a) "except E, V" -> "except E as V"
(b) V is now limited to a simple name (local variable)
(c) V is now deleted at the end of the except block

Not all code has been fixed yet; this is just a checkpoint...
The C API still has PyDict_HasKey() and _HasKeyString(); not sure
if I want to change those just yet.

- fix broken assert statement; should just raise

From SF patch #852334.

    suggested by PEP 291.

constant.

This is a conservative version of SF patch 504889.  It uses the log
module instead of calling print in various places, and it ignores the
verbose argument passed to many functions and set as an attribute on
some objects.  Instead, it uses the verbosity set on the logger via
the command line.

The log module is now preferred over announce() and warn() methods
that exist only for backwards compatibility.

XXX This checkin changes a lot of modules that have no test suite and
aren't exercised by the Python build process.  It will need
substantial testing.

(allows the same FancyGetopt object to be used multiple times with different
option tables).

a short form and text that wraps onto multiple lines.

after all -- turns out it doesn't buy us much after all...

in the option list is an attribute of the OptionDummy that will be
initialized to None.

Added 'set_option_table()' method.
Added missing 'self' to 'get_option_order()'.
Cosmetic/comment/docstring tweaks.
